Supalonely

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Benee (birth name Stella Rose Bennett) kicked off her music career by posting covers to SoundCloud. She began making her own music in her final year of high school. Benee first made waves in her home country with her debut EP Fire on Marzz, released on June 28, 2019. The EP peaked at #13 on the New Zealand Albums Chart and spawned the Gold-certified hit single "Glitter." Benee also won four New Zealand Music Awards, including Best Solo Artist. This infectious song is from her second EP Stella & Steve.

Benee created the song after going through a breakup. The singer explained to I.D. she wanted "to play around with the theme of being sad about a guy because that was how I was feeling." Benee added that the self-deprecating tune is poking fun at the feeling of being miserable. She explained: "Sometimes when you're sad you're just like, ugh, get over it! I think when I listen to music like 'Supalonely' where it's making fun of the feeling of being sad, in a way it kind of makes me feel good in a very weird way."

New York singer-songwriter Gus Dapperton supplies a twist at the end with his verse. He said: "I loved the beat and Benee's vocals! The concept was highly relatable to me on the other side of the spectrum, as being someone who likes to go out more often than not. It was natural and awfully fun to write to." Dapperton is best known for his song "Of Lacking Spectacle," which appeared on the 13 Reasons Why Season 2 soundtrack in 2018.
